Missing SweetPeas or Norton Internet Security Issues?

[CafeMom Team]

If you aren't missing SweetPeas (or your font toolbar when replying/posting on CafeMom), or you don't use Norton Internet Security/Anti-virus, you can ignore this post:)  But otherwise, read on!

Early this morning, Norton Internet Security put out an update that is causing it to incorrectly think that CafeMom and a number of other websites are a security risk.  You might be seeing a big "intrusion alert" message, or you might not be seeing the SweetPea/font/photo toolbar at all. 

This is affecting lots of sites, like Wikipedia, Ebay, Flickr, etc.  Norton is hard at work on fixing this.  For now, you can try a few things.  Try to add cafemom.com to your list of "trusted sites".  You can also lower your security settings a little bit in Norton, or ignore any error messages you see from CafeMom, for the time-being.

CafeMom is a secure place, and we're sorry that Norton is having this problem that might make you worried!  Not to fear, it should be fixed soon.

If you are having any other technical issues with CafeMom, the best thing to do, ALWAYS, is click on the "Contact Us" link at the bottom of any page on CafeMom and send us a note, we'll get back to you as soon as we can.

Update: As of 1:30EST PM, it sounds like Norton *may* have fixed this.  You should have a program called "LiveUpdate" that comes with Norton Internet Security.  Run that and it will get the latest version, and that should fix the issue.  If you try it and it works (or doesn't), post here to let everyone know!

Dec. 10, 2008 at 1:24 PM Thank you SO much. I was starting to get worried, because my Norton does keep popping up when I go to reply to a CafeMom post OR open my eBay page. I am so happy this was posted, thanks for keeping us informed!!

Dec. 10, 2008 at 1:26 PM I'm still stuck, I'm not getting any Norton warnings and I don't see an obvious place to put CM on the safe site list. I've tried Norton support...I'm truly about to give up all together if this is going to be an ongoing problem because disabling my virus protection isn't an option.
